muckefuckQ: How can you tell that the drinking establishment you are in is not a sports bar?
A: When they turn off a four-all home-team game in the MIDDLE OF THE FRIGGIN' 11TH INNING!
I couldn't believe it! One minute I'm waiting with bated breath for Hancock to strike out a Cubs batter, the next I'm looking at static. Then, a bit after that, some campy 50s scifi trash. WTFF? I whinged, I complained; it got me the sympathy of the owner, but not much else.
I can hear what y'all're saying: That's what you get for trying to watch baseball in a fag bar, and you're probably right. But there are compensations: Even if I could've gotten such well-mixed cosmopolitans in a straight bar, I might not have had the cojones to order them. (It's hard enough already being a Cards fan in this city without opening myself up to more abuse.) And I would've had to listen to some dire classic rock rather than being treated to The Editors, New Order, and Tom Tom Club.
The game's still going on, btw: Top of the 14th and the Cubs how just now pulled ahead by one run. What I wouldn't give to be watching this with someone who gave a shit how it turned it out.
